“The biggest challenge
facing the medical home movement in 2015 is the same as it has been
since its inception: payment. Physicians and care teams that transform
their practice to a medical home need more time, more human capital, and
greater funding to operate their practice around the joint principles of
the medical home. The current fee-for-service world does not support
primary care practice transformation and PCMH. There is not an ICD 9 or
10 code for ‘population health management’ or ‘care coordination,’ but
that is what patients need to be healthier and what physician offices
need to serve as successful medical homes. The sooner we can move away
from fee-for-service payment and get off the hamster wheel of ‘see more,
do more,’ the more successful the medical home movement can be.”
- Amy Mullins, MD, CPE, FAAFP, Medical Director for Quality Improvement,
American Academy of Family Physicians.

"Half of the members
were treated by PCMH practices and half were treated in practices that
were not recognized. Diabetic patients treated in PCMH practices
experienced lower overall medical claims costs, with costs slashed by 21
percent in the first year. This reduction was driven largely by a
decrease in inpatient costs, which fell by 44 percent."
